The fourth and final season of The Fugitive was filmed in color, and was originally aired Tuesdays at 10:00-11:00 pm on ABC from September 13, 1966, to August 29, 1967.^[1]^[2] The season was released through two volumes on Region 1 DVDs, with Volume 1 (containing the first 15 episodes) released on November 2, 2010, and Volume 2 released on February 15, 2011.

At the time of its initial airing, "The Judgment: Part 2" was the highest-rated episode of a TV series until the record was surpassed by the Dallas episode "Who Done It" thirteen years later. This same episode also surpassed the national viewership record set by the historic first appearance of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show three years earlier, with an estimated 78 million viewers.^[3] This was then broken by the Roots episode "Part VIII" in 1977.

- |ShortSummary    = The one-armed man, Fred Johnson, has been arrested in Los Angeles for a minor crime, which Kimble spots in a newspaper story while working as a truck maintenance man in Arizona. Gerard tries to use this to lure Kimble out into the open. Arriving in Los Angeles to be sheltered by an old family acquaintance, stenographer Jean Carlisle, Kimble needs to verify that Johnson is the man he is looking for, but someone wires a bail bondsman money to bail Johnson out. Kimble and Jean find the bail bondsman dead, after the bondsman tried to convince Johnson to be part of a blackmail scheme. Kimble goes through documents and is shocked to see who sent the money. He intends to confront this person; at the same time, Kimble and Jean begin to acknowledge feelings for each other. As Kimble prepares to leave, Gerard catches him and takes him into custody. Johnson hops on a train while Kimble and Gerard make their way back home to Stafford, Indiana.<hr>Kimble and Gerard are on a train heading to their Indiana hometown, the chase over at last. Kimble reveals that the person who sent Johnson's bail money merely used the name of Leonard Taft, his brother-in-law. Gerard gives Kimble 24 hours to verify the one-armed man in Stafford. Johnson calls the Tafts, demanding that they meet with him; they dismiss it as a prank call, but neighbor and Stafford planning commissioner Lloyd Chandler goes to the meeting. Kimble and Gerard find tell-tale evidence of Johnson's presence, and Jean Carlisle arrives at the Tafts reuniting with Richard Kimble. Lloyd Chandler holds the key to unlocking the events of "the day the running stopped" as viewers---by way of Lloyd Chandler unburdening himself to his ailing wife Betsy ---are taken back to what really happened on the night Dr. Kimble's wife Helen was murdered. Betsy Chandler tells Dr. Kimble and Lt. Gerard the story, and they catch up to Johnson at a deserted amusement park, where Lloyd Chandler plans to kill Johnson in order to keep the secret that holds the key. The stage is then set, in the famous amusement park tower scene, for the final confrontation between the Fugitive, Dr. Richard Kimble, and Fred Johnson, the one-armed man who is the real murderer of Helen Kimble.
